Those involved with a Pontiac bar accused of allowing strip dancing and other infractions put on a show for the City Council on Monday.

At a hearing on whether to revoke the liquor license and entertainment permit of the former Porky's Bikini Bar, now known as The Yac Club, an attorney said that ownership of the bar had changed just hours prior.

"As of this afternoon, my client no longer owns the property or building," said Arthur Weiss, who represents Charlotte Sanabria, the retired city employee who owned the bar that's been the site of a double homicide and figured into an FBI investigation of former city officials.

The bar has been "quit claimed back to the previous owner, Larry Dixon, who had Jack's Place for about 22 years," Weiss said.

Comments during the hearing revealed that Sanabria had bought the bar from Dixon on a land contract in 2007 and was no longer financially able to continue. Dixon said there's nearly $14,000 in taxes and a $1,200 water bill due on the property.

Dixon operated Jack's Bar & Grill on the site from the mid-1980s until selling the building on a land contract to Sanabria.

Dixon told the council he wants to operate the establishment as a neighborhood bar once again.

City Councilman Kermit Williams said to Dixon: "I'm just trying to figure out why it took the license potentially being revoked in order to bring this to a head (where) you would come and address the city?"

Mayor Leon Jukowski asked Dixon about the bars he's operated in Pontiac in the past, including Shenanigans Bikini Bar and the High Kicker Saloon.

Dixon said Tuesday that he owned Shenanigans and the High Kicker from 1985 until the early 2000s. Both bars were located on Kennett Road near Dixie Highway.

At the hearing, Jukowski asked: "So, if I had a recollection of both places being problems, my memory is faulty?"

Dixon replied: "I don't think you'll find too many problems that we didn't take care of in-house." He continued, "There's always going to be some problems, especially when you're seating 400 or 500 people."

Rhonda Pratt, of Lathrup Village, told the council that's she's been managing The Yac Club and signed a lease with Sanabria in December.

"It's been a horrific experience for me, and I'm upset. I'm very upset at how this has taken place, because I feel like I was blindsided," Pratt said.

"I had no idea, until I got knee deep in this bar, all the tragedies that happened. I was trying to change this bar around."

A woman who said she's worked at the bar in its last three incarnations also spoke at the council hearing.

"This bar is just like any other bar. You can go to a bar that doesn't have dancers and someone can get killed outside the bar. You can go to the store and get killed," she said.

"... Strippers are showing their private parts and they're doing this and they're doing that. What do you expect when you come into a bikini bar or (that) type of atmosphere?"

An undercover detective from the Oakland County Sheriff's Office Narcotics Enforcement Team told the council he witnessed women dancing on poles, stripping, exposing their breasts and genitals and smoking marijuana after the bar reopened as The Yac Club in April.

A dancer named Nikki showed the detective her breasts during a lap dance and placed his hand on her vagina, he said. Another dancer named Veronica "showed me her vagina for $40," the detective said.

Capt. Tim Atkins, the commander of the Oakland County Sheriff's Office Pontiac substation, said the code violations described by the undercover detective occurred after Porky's shut down and reopened on April 27 as The Yac Club.

"It appears to me that the bell's already rang and they're, in the final hour, trying to change the liquor license," Atkins said. "We're here to address the liquor license for this establishment. If he wants to apply for another liquor license down the road, then fine," adding that there's been two homicides, stabbings and multiple police calls to the bar, on East Kennett Road at Baldwin Avenue, in the time since the sheriff's department took over policing duties in the city.

Shuntrice Sylveter, 19, and Anthony Ellis, 28, were killed in the Porky's Bikini Bar parking lot on May 13, 2012 after shots were fired into the party bus they were passengers on during an armed robbery.

The night before the double homicide, a person involved in a fight inside the bar was thrown out by security. The fight continued in the parking lot, where the person was stabbed.

In April, a jury deadlocked on a bribery charge against former Pontiac Fire Chief Jeffrey Hawkins that alleged that Hawkins accepted a bribe from the manager at Little David's Island Bar, later known as Porky's Bikini Bar. Hawkins was convicted by the jury of a separate bribery charge and sentenced on June 20 to six months in jail.

The mayor recommended that the council revoke the bar's liquor license.

"At the end of the day, I can't have people getting shot outside of a bar," Jukowski said. "I think that we have to sort of make the decision that this is not the kind of entertainment that we want in the city."
